Chapter 698

The noodles were finished, and Wang An and Mu Xueqing still hadn't finished imagining.

Of course, it can't be called imagining, it should be called a simple plan for future life.

After all, not having the strength to change is called imagining; you have to know that Wang An's strength is not bad at all.

Speaking to the end, Wang An suddenly said to Mu Xueqing: "Right, wife, I also bought a crawler tractor, it's an old one, cost 17,500 yuan, you just need to prepare 14,500 yuan for me."

Hearing this, Mu Xueqing couldn't sit still and said with some complaint:

"Our family's foundation is already pushed, why buy that thing? Besides, didn't you already buy a walking tractor and a four-wheeled vehicle? Isn't it enough for our family to use?"

Wang An explained with a smile: "Raising so many animals, don't we need to build a pen or a nest for them? When the time comes, just hang a big shovel on the crawler, and with a simple push, the foundation is done, how good."

"Besides, our family's foundation is leveled, don't we need to build warehouses and sheds? If we rely on manpower to level the ground, how slow would that be."

Seeing Mu Xueqing's frown gradually relax, Wang An thought for a while and continued: "I heard that on the farm side, they started using harvesters a few years ago. They said that those harvesting devices must be driven by crawlers or big rubber wheels. Small gadgets like four-wheeled vehicles and walking tractors can't drive them at all."

"Big rubber wheels" is the local name; actually, they are large four-wheeled vehicles, also called tractors, with a power of at least 270 horsepower.

And the 12-horsepower four-wheeled vehicle used by individuals, the accurate name is actually "small four-wheel."

Mu Xueqing blinked her beautiful big eyes and said very confusedly:

"So many people want to contract land, our family can probably contract two or three hundred mu, plus the 50 mu of population land, is it worth using a harvester? Isn't hiring people to harvest the land more suitable than getting a harvester?"

It must be said that Mu Xueqing's reaction speed is fast, and she can't be fooled at all.

So as soon as Mu Xueqing's words came out, Wang An was stunned.

After reacting, Wang An continued to say with a smile:

"Don't we have to hire people every year to do farm work? Buying such a gadget is a one-time investment. If you calculate it this way, isn't it suitable?"

Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes at Wang An and said with a bad attitude: "After I give birth, our family will have four strong laborers, and we'll have 300 mu of land. Our family can handle it without hiring anyone. Mom was right, you're just a prodigal son!"

It must be admitted that Mu Xueqing is indeed a good woman who knows how to live, and she is not bad at all in terms of work.

Just take the spring plowing period, the work at home was basically all done by Mu Xueqing.

Although Mu Xueqing was pregnant, she didn't miss any work, and everything was managed in an orderly manner. If it weren't for the fact that farming didn't need so many people, Mu Xueqing would have gone to farm.

Besides, what Mu Xueqing said was actually not wrong, because from the perspective of the vast majority of people, Wang An's behavior of buying a crawler tractor was purely a prodigal behavior.

Mainly, compared to the current per capita income, the price of 17,500 is really too expensive! The key is that such an expensive thing cannot create corresponding value. If this isn't prodigal, what is? Of course, this also has to do with people's thinking, because in the hearts of farmers, manpower is not counted as money. No matter how much work is done or how much effort is exerted, it is not calculated in the input!

To give the simplest example, if it takes 10 days of manpower to solve a problem, then the vast majority of farmers will absolutely not spend money to solve it in 1 day! Because in the eyes of farmers, spending money is waste, and spending money is prodigal.

Of course, it's not that farmers like to work, nor is it that farmers don't understand what efficiency is, but because it is really too damn difficult for farmers to make money!

You have to know that the saying "one cent is split into two to spend" is not an exaggerated idiom, but a fact. Looking at Mu Xueqing's slightly excited little face, Wang An couldn't help but move Mu Xueqing over, opened his big mouth, and bit down.

How could Mu Xueqing, who was in a fit of anger, let Wang An off? She shouted and called, wanting to push Wang An away.

Only heard Mu Xueqing say angrily:

"Don't touch me, if you touch me again, I'll get angry."

How could Wang An care if she was angry or not? He didn't even speak, just bit.

Actually, this move of Wang An's was seen in a book in his past life, which is: when a woman is angry, don't theorize or reason with her, just bite if you can, just shell if you can.

Anyway, as long as you shell the woman until she's satisfied, whatever "anger," "grievance," this or that, will soon vanish into thin air.

This move is simple and easy to operate, works every time, and is a unique move that "one move is fresh and eats all over the sky."

Sure enough, after struggling for a while, Mu Xueqing was bitten into obedience. Not only was she obedient, but she also hummed softly.

Obviously, she started to enjoy it.

When Mu Xueqing was bitten until her face was full of saliva, her whole person finally calmed down completely.

Only then did Wang An hold Mu Xueqing and explain:

"Wife, you say how tiring farm work is. With our family's life, is it worth being so tired? You say we bought a crawler, and when the time comes, install a harvester, then before the autumn harvest, don't we have to be busy in the fields all day? With the time saved, isn't it better to do something else?..."

Just like this, under Wang An's coaxing and deceiving, and brainwashing with reality and reason, Mu Xueqing once again "husband sings and wife follows" and agreed with Wang An's point of view, and followed Wang An's thinking.

Finally, Mu Xueqing asked confusedly: "That crawler, didn't you say it cost 17,500 yuan? Why did you ask me to prepare 14,500 yuan?"

Wang An laughed upon hearing this:

"Last time with the white wolf skin and lynx skin, Wang Shuai said that after deducting their share and the cost of pushing the foundation for our family, there was still 3,000 yuan left. He said not to forget to find him to get it when I go to the county town, but I always forgot and didn't get it. This time it's just right to calculate it inside."

Mu Xueqing nodded and said casually:

"Yeah, I know."

After a while, Wang An suddenly slapped his head and said: "I almost forgot a big thing. I got the scar-removing medicine back from the county town yesterday for Xueli and Lao Wu, I don't know if it works."

As he spoke, Wang An went to find the pile of insects in the sack.

Mu Xueqing looked at the dried insects of all kinds, instantly got goosebumps all over, her beautiful features looked deformed, and after shivering a few times, she said: "Xiao An, this... this is the medicine you mentioned? This is too disgusting."

To be honest, Wang An also felt a bit uncomfortable looking at these insects, but still laughed: "Yeah, these things are very expensive."
